For Sale

A half set pitched in concert pitch D made from brass, African Blackwood and alternative ivory.

This is the first set of 2018 made for a UK customer who unfortunately was unable to follow through with his order. The set has been fully trimmed in alternative ivory which has a lattice very close to the grain structure of ivory. The chanter has been fitted with C and F natural keys. ABW is a supreme exotic timber which turns well and gives an excellent finish as evidenced in the pictures. It comes with bag and bellows and is available immediately.

C 3/4 set in ebony, nickel silver and trimmed with new alt ivory mounts. This set comes with the Taylor Bros new shuttle drone design which is exceptionally comfortable resting on the lap. Pictures of this style of drone available to view on my FB page from December 2017. All enquiries to martin@martinpreshaw.com and/or 00353 85 12 6847.
